Ad-Aware

I know that this post does not belong here but I have no choice this is the
only place I will get an answer. I have no Ad-aware SE, since December 31,
2007 you can not get definition updates and they tell you to get Ad-Aware
2007, but it seems that it does not support Windows 98, and I have Windows
98. Does anybody know of a solution?

Install Ad-Aware SE again, for now. Updates are still available manually. Alan
posted a link in his reply to get the program. Robear linked directions to manually
update.

Sol,

I just updated my copy of Ad-Aware SE with a definitions file dated Feb
18, 2008 (SE1R221), so we Win98SE users may not be completely out of
luck just yet.

Ad-Aware manual updating :
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip

Unzip the contents of the file to the Ad-Aware SE installation directory,
which usually is "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE".

If still having problems updating, go to
C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE and delete the files
"defs.ref" and "defs.ref.old"

Since MS has marketed two fundamentally different
(NTFS) OSs since Win98, most software vendors make
no attempt to support Win98. For example, Canadian
income tax programs for year 2007 will not run under
Win98 although those for year 2006 did. This is "the
new normal."

I was just about to ask the same question about Adaware so thanks for the
answers everyone. What about a free replacement for Zonealarm which no
longer supports W98? Anyone any ideas please?
